very good, but better for businessperson that pastor

I read this book to learn about world religions. It is the best I've read on an introductory level. The book was written for a businessperson and I would have learned more if I were working in that context. Still, I recommend it highly.

I am a psych major and taking a world religions class at Fuller this quarter. My prof assigned a number of academic books about the world's religions. I found them to be dry and difficult to understand. I also struggled with some of the authors who claimed to be Christian, but wrote from a non-Christian perspective. This book, The Gods of Business by Albertson, was the opposite of these other texts and was easy to read and concise. I recommend this book highly as a "For Dummies" guide if you really want to get straight to the point about world religions.

Chapter on Secular Post-Modernsim is the best

I'm doing research on how religious beliefs correlate to business practices. I read 3 other books this weekend and liked this one the best, particular chapter 10 that deals with secular post-modernism. The author does not portray it as a good thing.

One word of caution, the Fuller library does not have this catalogued correctly so you'd do better to go to Biola and use their copy.
